Overview
In 'This Inevitable Ruin' by Matt Dinniman, an exhilarating blend of intergalactic strategy and survival unfolds on the ninth floor where nine formidable alien armies, led by the galaxy's wealthiest and mightiest beings, converge in a grand spectacle of war. The objective is simple yet daunting: seize control of the central castle on a battlefield orchestrated for mass entertainment. However, this season diverges from the norm; the once-immortal players now face genuine mortality, escalating the game's stakes to unprecedented heights. This lethal twist transforms the game into a perilous contest where fallen warriors remain fallen, and 'winner takes all' looms ominously over the competitors. As an AI spirals into decline, chaos ensues, providing a ripe opportunity for Carl and his band of crawlers. Historically marginalized as mere participants, they rise as contenders, forming one of the tenacious teams vying for survival and victory. Adding depth to the battlefield, the NPCs, previously trivialized as expendable pawns, gain consciousness and assert their presence as a self-aware army. Amidst this tumult, individual stories of survival emerge, notably that of Donut and Katia, whose personal battle brings an intense, tactical fight for life beyond the game. With help possibly coming from unexpected allies, the narrative thickens, promising intense action and strategic betrayals in this ultimate fight for ascendancy.

Professional Reviews
"This series has no goddamn business burying so much depth and emotion and complexity under its bawdy, gory surface, but it does so anyway. What a wild-ass and unexpected delight." - New York Times bestselling author Scott Lynch
"This is the book for anyone who ever wondered what it would be like to be a role player in a game with the best game master ever. Also for anyone who wants to read a good book. Or maybe anyone who has been outside at night--in their underwear--looking for their cat and wondering 'What's the worst thing that could happen?' Once you start, you won't put it down." - Patricia Briggs, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Mercy Thompson series
" Dungeon Crawler Carl is the best start to a series I've read this year. I wish I'd tried it sooner." - Will Wight, author of the Cradle series
"If there's a better LitRPG than Dungeon Crawler Carl, I haven't read it." - Shirtaloon, author of He Who Fights Monsters
"One big smile all the way through. Put on your best pair of boxer shorts and sit back for a truly fun and enjoyable read."-- New York Times bestselling author Kevin J. Anderson
